Hello all,
I should make it clear that I am not looking to get a perfect score in the RC section but rather maximize efficiency. In LG, by skipping the substitution and equivalence questions and coming back if I had time I was able to boost my average a few points. In LR, I skip any PF questions after question #10 and come back if I have time. This has also boosted my average for LR. I was wondering if i can employ a similar strategy for RC. I find that the rated difficulty of the passage really has no bearing on my score for that passage. Some 2 star passages I bomb because I struggle to understand the content. Some 5 star passages I ace because I understand the content. My average score for an RC section is -10 and with that I am still scoring in the 160's. Also it is important to note my BR for RC sections is ALWAYS -1 or -2. I can provide more context if needed, any response is appreciated!
I don't like #6 either but for opposite reasons, so maybe we can help each other. I understand why the progression from 1 to 2 is natural because of the word "inevitable," although there is a logical jump that must be made since we are talking about her perspective and not the perspective of Schoenberg. I am confused as to how the progression from 2 to 3 is natural. She states "he developed the 12-tone technique as a means of bringing a new system of order to non-tonal music and stabilizing it." To me, "a new system of order" indicates a complete overhaul of the previous system, definitely not a natural progression.
